Picture Day, New Friend and a Tasty Snack! ​

To accommodate the second round of pictures today, Rainey Room swapped their backwards day with us. This meant that we had one whole hour of outside time, and on a beautiful day like today we enjoyed it! Win and Bailee, two friends who will join us later in the year, stopped by for the group photo and stayed after to play. We all enjoyed digging in the sandbox, playing hide and seek in the house and climbing on the rock wall and pull up bar! We can’t wait for Bailee and Win to officially join us, and we were thrilled to have them with us today!

Ellie and Emma try on hats from the photographer's prop basket! 

Also while outside, Rawl’s birthday committee took advantage of the extra time and got to work. They arranged the orange and red wood pieces they painted earlier in the week, and then layered beautiful materials on top to complete the final design. We’re very excited to celebrate Rawls’ birthday with him when he returns next week!

Once inside, Ellie shared one of her favorite snacks with us: pineapple! Everyone was eager to try the special fruit, and some children asked for seconds and even thirds! Big thank you to Ellie for thinking of sharing a favorite food with her Brown Room friends.

The results are in: 

Emma: More pineapple! More pineapple! All done.
Louisa: I love pineapple.
Ragnar: I would like more pineapple please!
Seon: Good. Yes!

Ellie and Bailee explore moving the merry go round while outside today! 

Emma investigates the swing! After several attempts, trying to pull herself into a seated position, she decided that holding on and swinging with her feet off the ground worked too!
